מופתים #2

 

  מופתים #2  

פרשת ראה

-ונתן אליך אות או מופת


Mori V'Rabi & a Mechutin of mine,  Harav Hagaon
Reb Nosson Schulman זצ"ל, Rosh Yeshivas
Slabodka, who was a תלמיד מובהק of the חזון איש said,

"The גדלות (greatness) of the חזון איש was not
the מופתים he performed but in his Torah, the ספרים he
wrote, and his leadership of כלל ישראל.

By repeating  מופתים of the חזון איש you are minimizing
his גדלות because that's not what the חזון איש was to
be known for.

Only for those צדיקים  who are unknown for their exceptional
Torah knowledge is there a need to speak of the מופתים
they performed.

Their מופתים proves that they belong to the group of צדיקים
who are גוזרוהקב"ה מקיים."

This might explain why the vast majority of מופתים are
attributed to the תלמידי בעש"ט compared to the very few
attributed to the non-Chasidic Gedolim

R Aryeh Leib ZT"L the son of the Chofetz Chaim while he 
was in Warsaw was asked by Chasidim to tell them a מופת
from his father the Chofetz Chaim.

Reb Aryeh Leb  told them that in all the years he was with his
father, he never noticed his father ever performing the
slightest מופת.

"Other צדיקים can & do perform מופתים because of
צדיק גוזר והקב"ה מקיים
My father the opposite was true הקב"ה גוזר וצדיק מקיים"





 

 

 

מופתים

 

     

פרשת ראה

-ונתן אליך אות או מופת
   

מופתים #1

The 'חיי אדם כלל א' סעיף ה writes that אמונה shouldn't and doesn't
come from observing
מופתים which is usually שקר.

According to the
חיי אדם, it is self-mindfulness and
מסורה that draws a person closer to אמונה.

R. Yaakov Kamenetski ZT'L writes that the 
חיי אדם who was
a
מחותן and also close to the גאון was a staunch מתנגד
and that influenced him re
מופתים.

R Yaakov argues and claims that
מופתים does have a positive
effect on 
אמונה as we see it happened in the times of אלישע.

Mori V'Rabi Shlita disagrees

 

Parshas Hashavua עקב

ואכלת ושבעת וברכת    



Harav Hagaon R.Moshe Sternbuch Shlita writes,
(
תשובות והנהגות ח"ז) Gluten-free bread since it isn’t
as filling as regular bread, therefore, It’s Bracha
is
מזונות & על המחיה.
 
Mori V’Rabi Harav Hagaon R. Shlomo Miller Shlita
strongly disagrees with R. M. Sternbuch and holds
The Bracha for Gluten-free bread is 
המוציא & ברכת המזון

R.S. Miller’s proof is oats don’t contain gluten yet are

one of the 5 Minim ( המוציא & ברכת המזון)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


BENTCHING ברכת המזון FOR DRINKING WATER

All he did was drink one glass of plain water
& therefore he needs to Bentch ברכת המזון.
?        


According to Harav Hagaon R.Ch. Kanievsky Zt"l,
If someone was thirsty at the end of his meal, and
waited to drink water till after ברכת המזון, he must
Bentch again ברכת המזון * (דאורייתא)

Based on the מרדכי who holds if you are thirsty
at the end of the meal and Bentch then your Benching
was only מדרבנן.

Therefore, Reb Chaim holds, after you Bentched if you
drink a glass of water you are now מחויב מן התורה 
to Bentch(again)
The first Bentching doesn't count since it was only
a דרבנן Bentching.

Mori V'Rabi Harav Hagaon R. Shlomo Miller Shlita 
argues on Reb Chaim and holds there is no need to
repeat the ברכת המזון after drinking the water.

The middle finger

 

     

פרשת עקב

-- וקשרתם אתם לאות על ידכם
   על מזוזות ביתך ובשעריך---

                   
The middle finger


a) The רצועות התפילין are wrapped around the middle finger
 שו"ע או"ח כ"ז: ח

b) One who enters or leaves the house should place* his
hand on the
מזוזה  and say,
ה' ישמור צאתי ובואי מעתה ועד עולם שו"ע יו"ד רפ"ה: ב 

The
חיד"א - ביכורי יוסף quotes from the אריז"ל to place
the middle finger on the
מזוזה

*As far as I know, the first
מקור in the פוסקים of kissing 
 the
מזוזה or ציצית.is from the קיצור שו"ע
